It is FREEZING COLD and windy in Atlanta today. Horrible for your lip gloss, BUT a great day to be wrapped up in a cape like this one. I love that you can just basically throw a cape over whatever top you have on and stay very warm, while also looking like you have plans later that do not involve a frozen pizza and your cat. What? This is definitely not about me.

I have been searching for a pair of distressed white denim for the longest. This pair is super soft and comfortable(my white J.Crew jeans are so stiff, I swear I can feel every chicken nugget I've ever eaten), but they also hold you tight enough to lift your bum bum towards the sky. Yay. Not sure if you can tell from the pics, but they are frayed at the ankles which is very flattering and, in the warmer months, looks so cute with pumps. 

My weekend officially starts today at 5pm and my mom is in town! Insert several red salsa dancing girl emojis. Happy Sunday, babes.

GO-TO SUMMER GLAM RECIPE.

Well kittens, I am off to Miami tonight to celebrate one of my best's golden birthday (when you turn the age of your day of birth, in her case, 28 on the 28th!) and packing has me in a swirl. This is my go-to recipe for easy summer glam either at home, or at a party in the city where the heat is on, ya feel?

MAXI DRESS + SUNGLASSES + HAT = MODELISH GOOD LOOKS

WHITE DENIM + THE THIRD-PIECE RULE.

White is actually my very favorite (non)color to wear, so when wearing white year-round became acceptable, I was pretty eager about it. You guys, I've said it before and I'll say it again, nothing beats AG Jeans. This pair is a little looser than my beloved ankle leggings, which makes them perfect for cuffing at the ankle. My legs are short compared to my freakishly long torso, so my jean-to-bootie ratio just looks better with a little skin peek-a-boo in between. These are also skinny enough to tuck into a knee-high boot, which is exactly what I plan to do with them next.

Side note: I have been LIVING BY the "third-piece rule" ever since reading this post on WHO WHAT WEAR. It is the simplest, but it makes total sense. Basically, you just add a "third-piece" (i.e. a blazer, a scarf, or a belt) to any outfit to make it a little more complete, and make you a LOT more style-savvy. With this simple sweater + jeans combo, I opted for adding the denim jacket around my waist to break up the black and white. A side piece, if you will. (too soon?) Technically, the scarf could also be my third-piece, but I got a little carried away. What's your favorite third-piece?

HOW TO WEAR: BEANIE HATS.

In head-wear news, now that Summer has left us like Amanda Bynes' sanity, the beanie hat is front and center. This is a look that I have always loved, but was unsure of how to wear it exactly. You don't want it to be tight on your head, à la Eminem, so it's best to go with a looser fit and let it drape a little in the back. Here are a few chic options for your little dome. Can you guess which one is just $5? #letsbuythemall

I am definitely going to be rocking this trend once this Arctic Blast arrives this weekend. Seems like a perfect time to fly to Baltimore for one of my very best's engagement par-tay, no? Get ready for a super furry flurry of posts from yours truly.
